Salinas Police K-9 Demonstration/ Kinder & 4th Grade Class News April 15-19

Today Officer Bailey and Officer Parsons of the Salinas Police Department came to demonstrate how a K-9 helps them do their job.  Officer Bailey's son, Chris, is a kindergarten student, and Officer Parsons' sons, Andrew and Michael, are fourth grade students at Southside.  The whole school enjoyed seeing Enzo, the German Shepperd, in action! 

Thanks again to Officers Bailey and Parsons for their visit!
